Siri becomes a real AI. iOS 27 makes its revolution.

For years, Siri was stuck at the « voice command assistant » stage. Apple owned up to it during the June 9 keynote: Siri becomes a true conversational chatbot, context-aware and multi-turn, natively integrated with Apple Intelligence.

Concretely, Siri can now resume a conversation where it left off, understand implicit references (« reply that Friday works »), and access any app through a standardized API layer. The shift from « commands » to « intents » is complete.

Big surprise at this WWDC: Siri AI lands on watchOS 27 too, with a dedicated Siri app and the new Dynamic App Grid. Apple did tighten compatibility though: only Apple Watch Series 9, 10, 11, Ultra 2, Ultra 3 and the new SE 3 will get the update.

For watchOS app developers, this is a strong signal: Series 8 and older are out of scope. Our team has already started auditing maintained apps to anticipate the deprecation of these models.

Apple is going after the connected home market with Apple Home Secure Video. The feature links Apple Intelligence to surveillance cameras and produces detailed descriptions of videos stored in iCloud (« someone in a red jacket rang the doorbell at 2:22 pm »). Direct competition with Google Nest and Amazon Ring.

Developer betas for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate have been available since yesterday. Public release is scheduled for this fall. Existing apps will need to be audited to leverage the new Siri AI intents — a job that becomes a differentiating asset in the coming weeks.
